Re ‘equal time’ for Creationists and Evolutionists a netfriend wrote:

I’m always suspicious of arguments for “equal time”.

And would you also approve, of taking religion out of schools, and giving atheists equal time with Christians in the media to promoite their views? Or, better, give Buddhists, Hindus, Nuslims, Jews, Taoists, Shintoists, Animists, Agnostics, Atheists, … all equual time with Christians in RE classes in schools? Of course, within Christianity the time should be equally split between Catholics, Orthodpox and Protestants. and within Protestantism the time would be equally split between Anglicans, Presbyterians, Uniting, Baptists, Brethren, Seventh-day Adventists, Mormons, Christian Science, Christian Outreach Centres, Assemblies of God, …

By the time we do this the average minister who conducts RE in schools would see a class for about ten minutes each year.

Not to mention giving evolutionists, astronomers, cosmologists, geologists, … each equal time with creationists in the pulpit on Sundays.

I won’t even talk about how we might manage to give homosexuals equal time with heterosexuals in any school classes.
